Claims (10)

  1. Procédé d'impression d'une image utilisant des encres qui sont activables à chaud de façon à pouvoir être fixées par la chaleur, comprenant les étapes suivantes:
    a. fourniture d'une imprimante à jet d'encre
    b. fourniture d'au moins une dite encre pouvant être fixée à chaud ; et
    c. transfert de l'encre qui peut être fixée à chaud sous la forme d'une image sur un objet sur lequel l'image doit apparaítre, l'étape de transfert comportant le transfert de l'encre pouvant être fixée à chaud sur un substrat au moyen de l'imprimante afin d'imprimer l'encre pouvant être fixée à chaud dans l'image sur le substrat sans fixer l'encre pouvant être fixée à chaud et ensuite fixation de l'encre sur l'objet par application de chaleur ;
    caractérisé en ce que ladite encre pouvant être fixée à chaud comporte des solides de coloration pouvant être fixés à chaud, un véhiculeur qui est liquide lorsque lesdits solides de coloration pouvant être fixés à chaud sont imprimés au moyen de ladite imprimante à jet d'encre sans fixer lesdits solides de coloration pouvant être fixés à chaud, et au moins un agent émulsionnant présentant une affinité avec les solides de coloration pouvant être fixés à chaud et lié à ou entourant tout ou partie des éléments particulaires des solides de coloration.
  2. Procédé d'impression d'une image à couleurs multiples utilisant des encres pouvant être fixées à chaud, qui sont imprimées par une imprimante selon la revendication 1, dans lequel l'imprimante est une imprimante à jet d'encre couleur, au moins l'encre pouvant être fixée à chaud fournie est une encre pouvant être fixée à chaud en au moins trois couleurs et l'étape de transfert comporte le transfert des encres pouvant être fixées à chaud sous la forme de l'image à couleurs multiples sur le substrat au moyen de l'imprimante à jet d'encre couleur pour imprimer les encres pouvant être fixées à chaud dans l'image à couleurs multiples sur le substrat sans fixer les encres pouvant être fixées à chaud.
  3. Procédé d'impression d'une image utilisant des encres pouvant être fixées à chaud, qui sont imprimées par une imprimante selon la revendication 1 ou la revendication 2, dans lequel le substrat sur lequel l'encre ou les encres pouvant être fixée(s) à chaud est (sont) imprimée(s) par l'imprimante est utilisé comme médium sur lequel l'encre ou les encres est (sont) imprimée(s) sans fixation pour le transfert subséquent de l'image du médium sur l'objet et fixation sur l'objet par l'application de la chaleur.
  4. Procédé d'impression d'une image utilisant des encres pouvant être fixées à chaud qui sont imprimées par une imprimante, selon la revendication 1, la revendication 2 ou la revendication 3, dans lequel ledit agent émulsionnant comprend de la lignine telle de la lignine sulfonée.
